Bronze with medal patina by Émile Carlier (1849-1927), dating from the early 20th century. This work depicts a Zouave soldier playing the trumpet, with a rifle slung over his shoulder. Depicted in action, the soldier wears the traditional Zouave uniform, characterized by baggy pants and a short jacket. The sculpture rests on a base evoking rocky terrain, adding a realistic touch to the scene. This piece illustrates not only historical military art, but also Émile Carlier's attention to detail and artistic skill.
Émile Joseph Carlier (1849-1927) was a French sculptor who joined sculptor Lecaron's studio in 1864, then entered Jules Cavelier's studio at the Ecole des Beaux-arts in 1869. In 1874, he made his debut at the Salon, where he exhibited for several years, winning the 2nd medal in 1879 and the 1st medal in 1883. In 1889, he won the gold medal at the Paris Universal Exhibition. After the 1st World War, he devoted himself to sculpting military figures as a poignant tribute to the combatants.
